    Did the CCKW, or M5H6 International have combat rims?

    If you are using a M62, just rig up a drag winch pull with as many part line as you have snatch blocks for and the truck will pull out. Don’t even try the ridiculous nylon strap jerk pulls you see on u tube.

    If I had a Dollar for Every Time....

    So what happens when he sells someone generic 3/8” J30R7 fuel/emission hose and someone clueless installs it on a fuel injection system that requires J30R9 high pressure hose?

    Cooling system upgrades

    What’s important to know about the viscous clutch is fording. With that clutch, if the engine is red hot after a highway run, fan fully engaged, and you enter deep water, all the blades will break off the fan, and puncture the radiator. This obviously is a show stopper to Uncle but maybe not you.

    Did the CCKW, or M5H6 International have combat rims?

    I have extracted CCKWs from 30+ year naps in the woods and usually they roll ok once you pull them loose. That can take massive pulling effort. The IH is a much heavier duty truck than the Jimmy.

    Did the CCKW, or M5H6 International have combat rims?

    Not sure what truck you are working with. But yes a 6 hole Budd pattern is used on M35A2, M34, CCKW, Half track, M8M20 etc.

    AMG did put the viscous clutch on H1s, Tobash yours should have it.

    Did the CCKW, or M5H6 International have combat rims?

    Agree with msgjd. 20" M34 Reo combat wheels are not the same as WWII 20" combat wheels used on halftracks M8/M20s etc.

    Year make and model info

    It's a 1967. Shows up in the Carnac historical VIN database which means it was one of the last to get surplused out. The 4K7721 is the US Army registration number which is stenciled on the hood sides. And that year would be Kaiser Jeep manufacturer.

    M820 Trailer Project - Advice Needed

    All the 17 ft expansible vans are variants of the M4 body. The design changed over the years but fundamentally they all do the same thing.

    M820 Trailer Project - Advice Needed

    I do believe that is a M313 trailer from the Viet Nam era. It does look kinda rotten. Those do not age well. I would go over it with a fine tooth comb before buying it. I am looking for the van body as well to put on a M292A2 deuce chassis and have passed on dozens of these that are too far...

    help with run flat tool

    That thing is a pos. The only way to do the runflats is the YouTube method with hydraulic jack. Be careful I almost took out an eye when the jack slipped.

    Cat 7155 Transmission ---Need help diagnosing problem with leaking air at Xsnm shifter control Assby block

    Wow. How difficult was it to unbolt this through the access hole in cab floor? How many labor hours in are you at this point? Do you think the rest of the plungers are at end of life as well? Thanks.

    Tire tube change questions

    Do you see the keyhole? Stick your lock ring tool in there and pry the ring up. Once the ring is started out of the recess, use your tire tools to continue to pry the ring up and off.

    Blown Head Gasket Recovery (no longer) - Massive Engine Failure (!)

    Where are the nuts?? Highly unusual that the nuts are no longer threaded on.

    Blown Head Gasket Recovery (no longer) - Massive Engine Failure (!)

    Ugh. Show us what the #5 rod bolts look like. This looks a lot like classical "threw a rod". Motor is so clean you can eat off it :(

    Welcome. That thing in your picture is the throttle servo that was used to control engine speed when the PTO generator was installed. You can remove it.

    Cat 7155 Transmission ---Need help diagnosing problem with leaking air at Xsnm shifter control Assby block

    That is a good question. The manifolds that are available ($$$) were surplussed out back in the GL days, which is like 10 years ago. Already getting old for O rings. And then figure Uncle had them on the shelf for ? years. So that opens up the “R Racing” rebuild scenario which appears to be...
